power issues. 4 ohms runs a very clean signal with no power issues.

I didn't running @ 4 ohms. He was running CVR's. I didn't want to blow them apart. It sounded great @ 4 ohms with no power issues what so ever.

Also, the 220 amp alt actually idles @ 105 amps. 220 doens't mean anything sitting in a parking lot @ idle. If you are sitting in a parking lot @ idle & your alt is putting out 105 amps, how many amps do you think are actually going to your stereo system? 105? UMMMMMMM............Hell no! Your car uses about 60 amps to keep it's electrical system running. So if that S-10 is sitting in a parking lot @ idle with the system turned wide open, he would have 45 amps give or take dedicated to the stereo. To answer your question,

how did you have power issues with a 220 amp alt on a 1k watt amp?

, if you do the math, it's pretty easy.

Just use Ohms Law........ you do know ohms law, right?

Ohms law states that E (Volts) x I (Amps) = P (Watts)

So take E (Volts supplied to your system @ idle) 14.6 x I (Amps supplied to your stereo system) 45 = P (watts coming out of your amplifier) 657

That is roughly what a T1000 does @ 4 ohms. If you were to attempt to run this amp @ 1 ohm with this charging system, you would accomplish these 3 things in no particular order:

You would damage your battery

You would damage/possibly burn up your alternator

You would damage/overheat/possibly burn up your amplifier

I hope this answers your question.

He also bought a Kinetik HC800. We are currently looking for a bigger alternator or a dual bracket for this truck. It will have to be custom built because no one currently makes one.
